EFSnet platform/interface scheduled for 2009 Shutdown
First Data is planning to withdraw support for the
EFSNet platform on March 31, 2009. Our goal is to minimize the impact to your
business and provide you superior solutions. There are several
migration options available depending on how you have coded to the EFSnet
platform. In many cases, you may have more than one integration
alternative; we have included information on each option to help you
decide which may be best suited for your needs.The information on this site
is intended to help you to determine your migration options, availability
and key characteristics of each, and where to go for more information.
If you have coded to EFSnet in this way…
..then this is your new solution(s)
